The man who really loves his woman will do everything for his beloved one. Love and taking care is the base for strong and healthy relationship. Good husband will always support and be nice with his wife. Always is interested how does she feel and takes care of her, if she is tired. Always 100% keeps his promises. Always takes responsibility for the family and doesn’t put this responsibility on his wife’s shoulders During pregnancy he would give his wife increased attention, gifts and care. Relationship are based on how can people support and understand each other. Family is the result of the work of two people who can give love gratuitously! Next time I will write about woman… Мужчина, по-настоящему любящий свою женщину, сделает все для своей любимой. Любовь и забота – основа крепких и здоровых отношений. Любящий муж всегда поддержит и будет обходиться бережно со своей женой. Всегда поинтересуется как она себя чувствует и позаботится о ней, если она устала. Всегда, на 100%, сдерживает перед ней свои обещания. Всегда несет ответственность за свою семью и не перекладывает эту ответственность на слабые плечи женщины Во время беременности он будет уделять жене повышенное внимание, дарить подарки и ухаживать. Крепкие отношения строятся на поддержке и понимании друг друга. Семья – это результат работы двух людей, способных даровать любовь безвозмездно. В следущий раз напишу пост о женщине…

His abdication was the first by a monarch in the Muslim-majority country’s history. The sultan “has irrevocably divorced Ms Rihana Oxana Gorbatenko on 22 June 2019 by three talaqs in accordance with syariah laws”, said a statement from his Singapore-based lawyer, Koh Tien Hua. “Triple talaq” is the practice which sees a Muslim man end his marriage by saying “talaq” (“you are divorced”) in Arabic three times.

An Islamic court in the northeastern Malaysian state of Kelantan, where Muhammad is still the sultan, had issued a divorce certificate, the lawyer said earlier this week. But the former beauty queen denied knowing about the separation, telling news portal Malaysiakini: “I have never heard of any divorce statements made directly to me.”

She has continued to post pictures on Instagram with the sultan and of a son she gave birth to in May. Lawyer Koh told Singapore’s Straits Times newspaper there was “no objective evidence as yet as to the biological father of the child.”

After Muhammad’s abdication, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah — a keen athlete who holds a string of positions on sporting bodies — was chosen as Malaysia’s new king during a special meeting of the country’s Islamic royalty.

Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy with a unique arrangement where the national throne changes hands every five years between the Islamic royal rulers of the country’s nine states.
